KANO, Nigeria, May 24 (UPI) -- A Nigerian woman told police she was kidnapped and drugged by Boko Haram insurgents, strapped with explosives and ordered to bomb a market.
Khadija Ibrahim escaped to a police station before she arrived at the textile market in Kano, and later told her story to Kano State Police Commissioner Abbati Maigari Dikko and Gov. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje. The mother of three was waiting for a bus in the city of Maidiguri, a hotbed of Boko Haram activity, when she was offered a ride by two men in a car. They abducted her, drugged her, removed some of her clothes and had a belt of explosives attached to her.
